Think I'm going to track down a Pro controller. Just got home and played a few matches and I feel like I could be doing so much better with sturdier, thicker analogue sticks and a traditional gamepad rather than the tiny two Joycons.

Is it worth the... what, $70? And it's worth noting - no you heathens, I will not convert to motion controls! I splat just fine without 'em!

 

[Phionoxx]

First time jumping in with Splatoon but having fun so far. Need to get acclimated to the controls.

Feel free to add me, I'll be adding others as I need to build up with Switch friend list.

[Doopliss]

I just resumed watching a PUBG video I'd paused earlier and for a second I wondered why the guy wasn't painting the ground.

This probably means I've played enough Splatoon for today.

 

[Plesiades]

Are the Splatnet clothes gone for good when the timer expires?

The Pro controller is excellent. It's pricy but for good reason.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Splattershot and Duelies are better. That's a fact because my mom told me so.

Never said the Jr was the best but it's a great weapon all the same.

Edit - I guess I did imply that by saying it "rules", but I just meant that it's really good lol

 

[AlephAlpha]

So many quits and disconnects. It wasn't that bad in the first Splatoon. I hope this gets better after the launch window

 

[HoJu]

Love splatoon to death. MP is great. The SP was pretty lackluster and the finale music was kinda lame. Also I still cannot believe we don't have a "back out" of the lobby option. It's 2017 and I have to close my game and relaunch it because I get stuck in a bad lobby that won't find new players. And give us an option to skip the daily news intro. I've seen it too many times already.

best thing to do is to put the game in sleep mode when you're done. don't exit it, then you won't have to see the intro ever again.

 

[Tovarisch]

The hell is style? And how do you get it?

I don't know, but I got even more :O

Pro controller is a massive upgrade especially for this game

These aren't the same you can get in the store? I just ignored it for now because I assumed that was it.

I don't know, but I got even more :O

Going by the screenshots it's about splatting a certain amount of opponents. So far hadn't passed the 12 in a single match.

How do I play not ranked modes with my friends with randoms?

Except for the d-pad which is pure shit


But this is another topic...

 

[JoeInky]

Salmon run is my jam, great music, cool concept, slightly dark, great enemy designs, love it.

Glad that I enjoy it because it's the main reason I bought S2.

I like that the owner talks to you through a wooden bear radio and that the company logo forms a silhouette of a bears head.

If only it was available at all times played it a few times only but it was very awesome i even prefer it over COD zombies.

After i am done with Story Mode i will jump back into Salmon Run.

[OrbitalBeard]

Is Salmon Run available to play for awhile longer today? I won't be able to play Splatoon 2 for a few more hours.

 

[BigJonsson]

I have no idea what I'm doing lol


I hit lvl 4, what weapon should I buy?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I have been sitting here all day waiting for this to arrive. UPS guy shows up, open the box only to find my Cloud amiibo. I forgot to fucking preorder this. Off to Best Buy I go!

Someone has to join a random game and then everyone else has to join into the game off that person using the friends menu.

And hope that some people leave otherwise you'll just get waiting for a slot to open...

Nintendo.

 

[Mikke]

Sorry if this was answered before, but how do you unlock the locked songs in the DDR mini game?

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I am enjoying the game just like I did in the first one. Great to know that I haven't gotten rusty.

 

[Cyanity]

Hey, just an FYI for players having trouble with the gyro aiming: It seems like the gyro aiming is exclusively based off of the right joycon, so if you have your controllers in grip mode and are having trouble aiming, try separating them and aiming with the right joycon. Please report back if this helps!

It's available for the next 6 and a half hours in the uk

Yes, it's good as fuck. I'd consider it a must buy for the Switch.

 

[mauaus]

has anyone written up begginer tips/strategies or some helpful videos?

 

[mstevens]

Do you get xp for salmon run?

 

[oti]

What about style? +3000

I got +6000 one time.

So is the Splatfest for NA also Mayo vs Ketchup?

 

[Renna Hazel]

Just did my first round of Salmon run, fun mode but really short. Is there a setting to make it keep going and gradually get more difficult?

 

[Tovarisch]

Do you get xp for salmon run?

No, but you earn points that can be exchanged for this:

I got +6000 one time.

Bravo :O

Yes, but only for that mode. Edit: to clarify, they're points you can spend on goodies.

What the... Game doesn't seem to have a manual so really curious what the hell exactly this is.

 

[OCD Guy]

There's always 3 rounds, but trust me it get's hella difficult later on.

It get's so hard you're gonna end up ranking down lol

I was thinking it was easy until I ended up ranking all the way back down to part timer....

 

[ryan299]

I keep getting matched with the worst teammates ever. It's unbelievable

Also all anybody uses is the roller

 

[nubbe]

Mixing EU and NA result which is bullshit

 

[SmokedMeat]

Holy shit the roller just feels so much more devastating then before. Fuck those peashooters, I'm rolling like a Squid tank.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

why are weapons unlocks? New people have to get wrecked is that how online games work now?

There are these things called a ranks and levels you know

 

[jetpacks was yes]

I'm a white dude who chose a dark-skinned player, and I've noticed that all of the squid people online are pretty pale. Huh.

Well, sorry but I'm #TeamMayo this time.

 

[DassoBrother]

Yes

Yes.

I was kinda hoping it'd be Ketchup vs. Vinegar (I heard it was for what you like better with fries).

 

[deoee]

Dito except no one else used the rollers but just was shit with any other gun

 

[Busaiku]

At last, I can begin!

 

[mauaus]

Ketchup for life

 

[oti]

Why? Splatfest is super easy for you Americans. Just pick Mayo and you'll get a match instantly.

 

[jmizzal]

why are weapons unlocks? New people have to get wrecked is that how online games work now?

Yes, same way in COD, i'm never good until I get my right set up lol

i'm level 4 now, got my dulies now so im happy

 

[Milennia]

If they are doing the EU and NA tallies together now, this is literally EU vs NA
EU Mayo
NA ketchup

All naysayers should defect to the other team
